  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: File URLs contain incorrect number of   *
  *                      '/' characters                          *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  File URLs may have an incorrect number of '/' characters after
  'file:' due to the ProtectionDomain constructed in
  DeployedAppInfoBase.getProtectionDomain() method not checking
  the location path of the object prior to prepending file:// to
  the location path as part of the URL for the Codesource of the
  ProtectionDomain.
  
  This can lead to unexpected locations being returned and causing
  issues such as:
  
  java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: URI has an authority
  component
  
  when using the CodeSource to obtain and use the URL location or
  FTP invocations being attempted when performing Cipher
  construction
  

Problem conclusion

• DeployedAppInfoBase.getProtectionDomain() has been modified to
  take into account the number of leading '/' characters returned
  from the
  WsResource object's res.asFile().getAbsolutePath(); adjusting as
  necessary; before prepending file:// on the URL for the
  codesource of the ProtectionDomain.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix
  pack 8.5.5.9.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for
